We have been bringing you extended versions of material collected for CSN’s documentary on the world champion 1986 Celtics. In this episode, we hear from legendary Boston Globe beat writer, columnist and basketball guru, Bob Ryan.

Ryan also talks about the trash-talking greatness of Larry Bird, and whether he feels the '86 Celtics are the best basketball team in NBA history.
